Copy of JudgmentView PDF

Summary The court acquitted accused Purushottam Rajaram Gedam of charges under the Maharashtra Arms Act, finding that the prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that 15 country-made firearms were found in his possession. The court noted that only one witness was examined and critical evidence—including the site inspection panchnama, chemical analysis report, and the person who submitted the seized weapons to the laboratory—was not properly substantiated, making it impossible to definitively prove the recovered items were firearms.
